For the "college questionnaire" and "law school certificate" do you actually have to print out these papers, sign them yourself and give them to your law school's office?

My law school just sent a Dean's Certificate/Letter of Good Standing to NYU, but it wasn't their form -- it was the form my law school uses. Does anyone know whether that is acceptable, or am I going to have to print out THEIR specific paper, sign it myself and fax it (I'm not working in the same city as my law school) to my law school for them to do all of this over again?

about 2 weeks as well. my school's policy is 10 business days before it tries to resend it. the transcript box was checked before the deadline for resending for me. i called the admissions office after about a week and a half to ask, and at that time they said they hadn't received it. then 2 days later the box was checked off.

I called them last Friday and they told me that they have a lot of apps and take a long time to process these things. Which makes sense, given it took them a month to give me access to the status checker. Still annoying, though.

NYU does take a few weeks to process docs. That being said, its a great school and worth the wait. They dont release decisions for another two weeks or more, so I wouldn't worry that much.

I've been in the Processing phase for a while now, as well. Both law school transcript and UG transcript boxes unchecked? Do we have to send these documents directly from LS/UGs or do they use the CAS copy that LSAC sends?

+1

can we get a response to this?

I just noticed on my status checker that "undergrad transcript" is unchecked, but I thought this was included in the CAS report??? I know for a fact that I sent my final UG transcript to LSAC after I graduated college, so...shouldn't the CAS report include it, or am I going to have to contact my slow-acting UG?

Thanks

I believe you need to get it sent directly from the schools. They have those forms in the application that you need to use.
